Bug Description

Sometimes, the root user (user with id 0) is deleted from the database by users. That can cause a bunch of issues as the user is needed by Mahara, e.g. see bug #1632717.

Robert suggested to implement a check during installation / upgrade to look for that user and print a warning with steps to get it back if it's not present.

Bug 1636286: Testing if root user exists in upgrade sanity

The root user needs to exists for Mahara to function correctly

It is used (at least) to hold some default layout options
